looking at the front page of the paper
catch the evening news
the world's in rambles, we keep on going
like we've got nothing to loose
to each his own, every man for himself
is the mindset that we choose
when the going gets tough we turn our backs
like we've got nothing to loose
who's to blame for this travesty, it's a shame we've lost our dignity
the decay of society is what's haunting me (it's time to wake up, open your eyes) (2x)
stop pointing your fingers at everyone else
and look into the mirror
responsibility is staring you down
so what you got to fear
no more holding back to protect yourself
and all that you hold that's dear
it's all crashing in, you're backed against the wall
the end is very near
who's to blame for this travesty, it's a shame we've lost our dignity (2x)
the decay of society is what's haunting me (it's time to wake up, open your eyes) (4x)
it's time to wake up, open your eyes (4x)
